    U.S. Air Force Reservist Capt. Erin Rost, United States Air Force Academy admissions liaison officer and labor and delivery nurse in the local community is leaving work after a 12-hour shift May 8, 2020, at Shaw Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina. Capt. Rost serves as an Academy Admissions Liaison Officer where she helps young adults achieve their dreams of commissioning in the Air Force. She simultaneously leads her local community in the fight against COVID as a Medical-Surgical nurse, and she recently transitioned into a Labor and Delivery position. She has a very physically and emotionally demanding job, but she strongly maintains that it is a labor of love. Before joining the reserve Rost was stationed at Hanscom AFB near Boston, Massachusetts, she found a part-time nursing program that offered classes in the evening. She attended class three days a week from 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. and completed her clinical rotations every other weekend. She did all of this while working full-time as an active-duty officer and living with two roommates to save money to pay for her nursing degree. Rost was able to complete the program and earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree in just three years. She attributes her success in the program to her Air Force supervisors and classmates. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech Sgt. Erin Mills)
